I think that this year I have made progress understanding my artistic preferences. I have formed new opinions about art that shape every piece of work that I produce. This year I learned more about the importance of the composition of a painting. A strong composition is what differentiates a painting from a simple design. Throughout the year I have made improved my skills with different materials, specifically acrylic paint and graphite. This year I have learned that it is important for a piece of work to represent an idea or message instead of just looking nice.
